We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

If you need something good, then MW is the place to go.
If quality isn't the concern and you just need an "emergency shirt" (forgot to pack one for a conference, etc.) then Kohl's is an OK option for inexpensive stuff. But it won't last.

Ugh...Kohl's. My entire family loves that store and gets me gift certificates there every Chanukah. I finally found some pants that fit me there in January. They started falling apart by February.

When I tried to exchange them, they said that the exact style wasn't in stock and I was S-O-L.

Definitely Men's Wearhouse or Dillards. They have tailors on staff. You can always take it to an independent tailor, as well.

thanks we're all gonna need a vacation after this. my son's was a piece of cake but my daughter's is another story ... 2 dresses; 2 hairstyles; night party instead of right after service ... love her to pieces though. when she gets married it won't be this time of year if I have anything to say about it (but I won't). Men's wearhouse is coming out ahead due to the inhouse tailor ... Kaching! (so what else is new) I've got a cheap bike but a wicked nice white shirt! hahaha

Honestly the "nicest" dress shirts I've ever bought were from express and they aren't really that great. The best fitting dress shirts I own are the merona shirts from target and they seem to be pretty good quality. And they're only around $20. I get the ones with measurements instead of the S/M/L sized ones. They seem to be fitted rather than having a classic baggier fit that the s/m/L ones have.

In my experience, a shirt is one of those things where you get what you pay for.

I've bought plenty of $50+ dollar shirts and have never been happier than I am with the target shirts. I even put a black one through hell when I was working as a cook. It was a more upscale restaurant and the sous chef and myself were expected to look nice because we could be seen from the main dining area. It's still as shiny and new as the day I bought it even after being machine washed a countless number of times. I wore another black shirt that I got from Gap at least one day a week while I was cooking pretty much only because I felt bad for the other shirt. It's now dark gray and barely long enough to tuck in. And I never really liked how it fit anyway. I'm not saying there should be something great about shirts from Gap but I payed $55 bucks for the damn thing.
